Welcome to Fountain of Hope

Our mission is to equip and empower people to be agents of holistic transformation in their communities through the love of Christ.

“
This work among the Khmer has been missiologically radical and ecclesiologically exciting. I cannot commend this ministry more highly. What Joke is doing would be a stretch for us all, but a huge Kingdom blessing bringing hundreds to Jesus through the Cambodian local church.

“
This ministry is one of the best examples in the world today of Western initiated, indigenous owned and operated, explosive outreach. The all-Cambodian staff planted over a thousand cell churches in their previous incarnation as Hope For Cambodia's Children and are now moving equally well as FOH. This is the future for missions.
”

“
The workers in Fountain of Hope are hardworking, diligent, and committed to the vision they carry. We can truly see their consistent work is a great help in the communities in Cambodia.

“
What really spoke to my heart last time I was there is the hope people are getting from initiatives created and developed by themselves — both men and women growing as a person but also changing a whole community.

“
Fountain of Hope is making a crucial difference in countless thousands of lives in a country that is still struggling to recover from the devastating effects of decades of civil war and genocide.

“
This is really development work from the bottom up rather than top down, which often goes wrong with large organizations serving partly their own interests. Here you see that villagers are mobilized, trained and think for themselves what their problems are and which ones they prioritize to address first. Since the cell church has a leading role, we see that life in imitation of Christ, with respect for people, animals and the environment is bearing fruit even in this life.
”

“
I think anytime you bring the love of Jesus to a child, a young teen, a community of adults — any time you bring the love of our Father God to people who are struggling with a history of pain and abuse and combine that love with practical support on health and education related solutions — you are going to have an impact.

Who We Serve

Programs

God has made amazing progress in Cambodia during the past 25 years — and Fountain of Hope (FOH) believes it can play a crucial role in winning this impoverished, war-torn country to Christ. Our organization works through local cell churches to mobilize community members to respond to social, medical and spiritual problems with biblical solutions.

Church Planting

There is tremendous openness to the gospel in Cambodia, especially among children and poor villagers. The goal is to promote the growth and development of indigenous cell churches, while also providing leadership development.
